ROYAL AUSTRALIAN MINT CORPORATE PLAN 2018–19 TO 2021–22 3
INTRODUCTIONAs the Chief Executive of the Royal Australian Mint (the accountable authority), I present the Mint’s 2018-19 Corporate Plan as required under paragraph 35(1)(b) of the Public Governance, Performance and
Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act)
This plan updates the previous plan and outlines how the Mint intends to deliver against its purpose over the four year period from 2018-22
The Mint 2018-19 Corporate Plan complements the Strategic Plan, which taken together, form our key planning documents Through an iterative consultative process with staff, senior managers and board members, deliverables were agreed upon and targets set to achieve an acceptable Return on Net Assets for the coming year
The Australian Government earns revenue from the issue of circulating coins. Historically, this revenue was paid to the “seignior” or crown. Seigniorage is the difference between the value of the coins and their production costs which is paid to the Government. Apart from seigniorage, the Mint has worked to deliver growth in earnings in its collector or numismatic business. The combination of returns from currency and numismatic sales is applied in the Return on Net Assets measure which positively demonstrates the Mint’s use of its resources.
Our strategic planning process provides the opportunity to shape our future and focus our efforts on those areas that are most important in delivering against our purpose and core functions; including recognising the continual improvement and healthy practices necessary to remain relevant and sustainable
This plan recognises that we operate in an environment of continuing global uncertainty and technological change Anticipating and responding to change, managing risks, building and sustaining strong relationships with stakeholders and customers, optimising the use of our assets including our strongly recognised brand, and investing in key capabilities are central to delivering value to the owners of the business – the Australian Government

PURPOSE
Our Purpose
The Mint, based in Canberra, operates under the Currency Act 1965 Our purpose is to serve the coinage needs of the Australian economy, collectors and foreign countries These needs are met through the manufacture and sale of circulating coins and other minted products
Our Role
The Mint’s role has embraced its activities to include the use of and experience associated with the collection of coins and the presentation of programs delivered by the Mint
The Mint is responsible for:
Circulating coins Part of the national currency system of Australia that has real value and acts as a medium of exchange On which are depicted designs of national flora and fauna, culture, heritage and, on occasions, nationally significant historical and contemporary events
Numismatic coins Used as a medium that represents real and intrinsic value These feature designs that tell the stories of Australia, its history, heritage, environment, wildlife, culture and achievements
Visitor Gallery A community service that provides visitors to the Mint with an education on the history of Australian coinage as well as how technology is being used in a contemporary manufacturing environment to produce metal products
Minting, machining and consulting services
A range of associated assets, knowledge and services that are being utilised to ensure the optimisation of the Australian Government’s investment in the Mint
Our Values
The Mint upholds the Australian Public Service (APS) values as set out in the Public Service Act 1999 In addition to the APS values, the Mint places particular focus on leadership values which are demonstrated when we empower our staff, deliver on our commitments, recognise performance, create solutions and measure to manage
ROYAL AUSTRALIAN MINT CORPORATE PLAN 2018–19 TO 2021–22 5
ENVIRONMENTCritical to the delivery against our purpose is anticipating and responding to changes in demand in our operating environment This section sets out the nature of our operating environment over the four-year reporting period of this plan and how it may affect our operations The following areas of the marketplace, economic and regulatory contexts are relevant to the achievement of the Mint’s purpose:
1 The core business of the supply of circulating coin is under threat from alternative forms of disruptive technology such as contactless payments like ‘Pay Wave’ or ‘Pay Pass’, digital currency and other forms of transaction capability
2 The economic environment continues to be volatile and uncertain In recent years both the domestic and international economic conditions are challenging The Mint is expecting to operate in an environment of ongoing lower economic growth, volatile commodity prices and continuing worldwide uncertainty in this declining industry
3 The Mint is in a sound financial position which provides a good base from which to grow and invest
4 Consequently, continued investment in innovation, creativity and the leveraging of capacity is essential
5 The Mint continues to benchmark its cost base against competitors The commercial activities of the Mint compete against private mints and state-owned sovereign mints in a congested market
6 The Mint’s governance and control processes are well established and provide a level of oversight that helps to minimise risk
7 The ownership by the Commonwealth and the brand are highly regarded by the international market as significant strengths
CORPORATE PLAN 2018–19 TO 2021–22 ROYAL AUSTRALIAN MINT6
PERFORMANCE The performance of the Mint is measured in terms of the Return on Net Assets over the four-year reporting period of this plan Performance measurement informs the Parliament about the Mint’s performance and delivery against its purpose The performance framework is also designed for the Mint’s leadership and staff to understand the impact of the activities they are responsible for in delivering against the Mint’s purpose
The performance measures convey a coherent message about what the Mint expects to achieve in the next four years The measures will be reported and reviewed annually over the life of the corporate plan The performance measurement framework is based on measuring what we did (delivery), how well we did it (quality and efficiency) and what the benefits were (impact) The Mint Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) set targets to measure our progress against our performance measures
The programs which contribute to achieving the Mint’s outcome and purpose are:
Program 1.1 — to produce and distribute circulating coins and minted products to meet the demands of the Australian economy, collectors and foreign countries
This program contributes to achieving the Mint’s outcome through:
• Production, maintenance and sales to meet demand for:
- Australian circulating coins;
- Foreign country circulating coins;
- Numismatic products; and
- Other custom minted products
• Maintenance of Australia’s National Coin Collection;
• Tourism and education services to public and school groups:
- Maintain the Mint’s visitor gallery, including building and surrounds;
- Provide educational programs to school students who visit the Mint; and
- Promote public understanding about the cultural and historical significance of coins

RISK MANAGEMENT• The Mint’s Executive has adopted a Risk Management Policy and Framework, which formalises the
Mint’s approach to risk management across the organisation It is designed to support managers at all levels to anticipate uncertain events, exploit opportunities and respond appropriately to potential weaknesses
• The Mint is committed to a comprehensive, coordinated and systematic approach to the management of risk Risk management is not a standalone process but requires ongoing assessment, including the need to review risks in light of new developments Risk management is an integral part of the Mint’s governance framework, and is considered in the context of the Mint’s strategic outputs and outcomes, business planning and reporting, and in day-to-day decision-making
• The framework is consistent with Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) ISO 31000:2009 and Comcover’s Better Practice Guide for Risk Management (June 2008) as well as the Commonwealth Government Risk Management Policy (Commonwealth Policy) which was released 1 July 2014 as an element of the Public Management Reform Agenda
• The PGPA Rule 2014 requires that an entity’s Corporate Plan must provide a summary of the risk oversight and management systems
• The Mint addresses its internal and external risks on a whole of organisation basis The following are the Mint’s identified strategic risks and their mitigation strategies:
